deer sense smoke sticks

[big ten]

has anybody tried the smoke sticks? either therut one or the curiosity one. and what was your luck with them good or bad input?

Never tried them personally, and so far the reviews I've seen have been mixed. One thing I don't like about them though is the mfrs insistence that both be used at the same time, that's a good chunk of money to shoot through for a product you aren't certain of.

Nothing I would use. Just another gimmick IMO

i used the rut stick and had a 6 pointer come into it. He was coming in put his nose to the wind grunted and came into it. other then that i have tried the combo curiosity pack and had no luck at all. I am not totally sold on them probably just another gimmick but it is worth a shot. Believe it or not i have better luck with the cheapest stuff out there

I tried some of the all season sticks, i put one in the ground and another in my stand because the mosquitoes were really bad. I had a 4pt come in from down wind with his nose up, and then he stood on his hind legs and walked holding his nose up high trying to smell it. then he came up directly under my stand and was sniffing the leaves and stuff where the ashes had fallen. Later more deer came in to feed but I don't think they were coming to the smoke sticks, butdefinately broughtthe small buck in. I shot a nice 8 pt later that afternoon but I don't think he was coming to it either.
